“Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.” So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.”

All,

This stands out because Luke says, “Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed;”. Peter prayed before performing this miracle. Peter has no power of his own just like we have no power of our own. However, Peter and we can pray and the Holy Spirit will empower us to do God’s purpose. Please pray that we and our friends seek Jesus first. Please pray for the CLC Breakfast this Thursday.
